Oh So Beautiful Paper

With last weekend’s premiere of the new Great Gatsby movie (Who’s seen it!?), I thought it was high time I did a roundup of Art Deco inspired wedding stationery! While we know it will be a trend now, a lot of the distinct typography and unique motifs are timeless! You can also play around with some dramatic hues, mixed with black and gold. Talk about a statement! — Kelly

I tend to gravitate towards bright, vibrant colors (Remember this post all about emerald?), but when springtime begins to roll around, pastels start tugging at my heart. Mint appears to be the “it” pastel of the season and I am not complaining! The hue happens to pair perfectly with gold, too, making me love it just that much more. Here are a few wonderful ways to incorporate this springy shade into your wedding day! — Kelly

I just love the idea of giving your wedding guests a fancied-up name tag to don throughout the day! There are always a lot of names to be learned at a wedding, and these sweet escort card buttons would certainly do the trick! Plus, they act as a special keepsake (read: favor) long after your grand exit. And even if you don’t want to have buttons calligraphed or designed with guests individual names, providing buttons with a special monogram, bridal party roles or even which “side” the guest is there for is a fun way to bring yet another finishing touch for your day! — Kelly

You didn’t think I’d let Valentine’s Day go by without a little wedding heart love, did you!? You may simply brush hearts off as cliché when it comes to weddings but these modern escort cards, menus, programs and more may just prove you wrong! Hearts are an adorable motif to incorporate, and oh so perfect for you February brides and grooms! — Kelly

Anyone out there planning a Valentine’s Day wedding?

We all see different animals take their turn in the spotlight. Think owls and, as of late, foxes. But there’s something quite sweet and whimsical about incorporating animal motifs into your wedding day, even if they aren’t the trending animal of the moment! You may have seen a little animal stamp on your place card at past weddings, indicating your dinner of choice, but these ideas take it to the next level, bringing animal silhouettes, fancied up plastic animals, and origami varieties to your big day! — Kelly
